Reviews with content warning for Bullying - 13 причини защо

an excellent teen novel, where such a complicated and dark topic is examined through the eyes of an adolescent. this topic is treated with such respect, and the fact that this book exists at all is a testament to respecting the fact that teens do experience suicide and the complicated emotions that come with being a "bystander", not just to suicide, but to other extremely dark and tense topics. asher gives teens a safe space within the novel to explore these topics.

I really appreciate how the author dealt with a subject that's so hard to talk about, suicide, and showed how it can be so many things that lead to such an act.

Hannah made tapes for everyone she feels has a part in her suicide. It was very well-written and really showed how even small things, for some, can lead to devastating consequences. Really makes you think about how something that seems so inconsequential to you may have a very large and negative impact on someone else. A good reminder to always act in kindness. An eye-opening read.
